There are several requests for us to help with local (Louisiana) cooking competitions. People need participants and would like us to reach out to help find them.
Here is the post for that. If you are hosting a cooking competition of any kind and would like to get the word out, please post in the comments section. Tell people what you’re looking for or if it’s an FYI post to just get the word out. All non-cooking/food related advertising will be deleted.
I’ll try to occasionally bump this to keep it visible for the foreseeable future. Good luck to those who are starting out & those competing.

Thank you so much Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board for providing the delicious crab for our crab salad and gumbo! It was beautiful! Chef Kernis Louviere made us and all of Louisiana proud with the presentation and flavor! Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce is proud to serve Louisiana Seafood to our Louisiana guests and our guests from around the world! 🌎

Last call for cooking team tickets!

One of our teams is missing a sentimental item: It's a legal sized clipboard with the word " Deridder" at the bottom written on the clipboard. It has two clips on the sides and a big paperclip holding some paperwork. The words "Lou" and 2025 are also on the clipboard. If you accidentally brought that home with you, please let us know. It would mean so much to its owner.

Moe, John & Gaige, our newly dubbed , thank you for showing up before the crack of dawn all weekend, without complaining, and getting all of our teams their ice and drinks. Y’all worked tirelessly to make sure that our teams and guests stayed hydrated and their drinks & food appropriately chilled. You 3 went above and beyond and didn’t stop until you were quite literally told to go home at the end of each day. Thank you for your patience, your dedication and your can-do attitudes. You each deserve recognition for your hard work. We appreciate you!
